Recently, the AI company Anthropic invested millions of dollars to purchase and "dismantle" a large number of books for training its AI assistant Claude. This move has drawn widespread public attention and sparked heated discussions in the legal community. According to a report by the foreign media Ars Technica, Anthropic adopted a controversial method to obtain training data. They dismantled a large number of physical books, scanned them into digital files, and then destroyed the original copies. This practice was revealed in court documents.

Silicon Valley investor Mary Meeker's latest released AI report reveals that the global AI competition landscape is experiencing profound reshaping. Chinese strength and open source wave are shaking up the ecosystem dominated by top companies like OpenAI, entering a new stage of 'contested supremacy'. The report points out that China's large language models are rapidly catching up with the U.S., with models such as DeepSeek, Alibaba Qwen, and Baidu Wenxin Yiyan showing excellent performance in core tasks such as code generation and mathematical reasoning.

Analyzing medical image data has always been a complex and laborious process. Recently, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine developed a novel artificial intelligence system called LILAC (Learning-based Inference of Longitudinal Image Changes) that can efficiently and accurately analyze and detect changes in medical images over time. This research, published on February 20th in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showcases LILAC's broad application potential in various medical scenarios. Traditional medical image analysis methods often require extensive customization and pre-processing.

Li Liang pointed out that an article titled 'Byte's AI Team Major Restructuring' contains multiple instances of misinformation. Claims in the article regarding the technology vice president Yang Zhen's impending retirement and Feng Jia's departure to start a business are all due to erroneous sources. Additionally, reports about Zhang Yiming visiting Wang Junyu, the founder of Wandoujia, and the Shanghai Mosu Space startup company are also inconsistent with the facts.

A significant shift has occurred in the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI. With OpenAI announcing the signing of a Stargate agreement with companies like SoftBank and Oracle, Microsoft is no longer the exclusive data center infrastructure provider for OpenAI. According to the new agreement, Microsoft has been granted a 'right of first refusal' on new cloud computing capacity from OpenAI, meaning that if Microsoft cannot meet demand, OpenAI can seek support from other cloud service providers. Microsoft confirmed this change in a blog post, stating that OpenAI has turned to Azure.

On his first day in office, President Trump announced the revocation of an executive order signed by former President Biden in 2023, which aimed to mitigate the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to consumers, workers, and national security. Biden's executive order directed the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under the U.S. Department of Commerce, to establish guidelines to help businesses identify and rectify flaws in their AI models, including biases. Furthermore, the executive order required developers of AI systems to report to the U.S. government before publicly launching their products.

Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, publicly shared a letter from the U.S. Senate regarding concerns over the large donations made by OpenAI and other tech companies during the Trump election period. The letter was revealed late at night, sparking widespread discussion. It mentions that since Trump's election, large tech companies like OpenAI have donated millions to his inauguration fund, raising concerns in the Senate. They believe that such large donations may be an attempt to influence the upcoming election.

With the surge in demand for artificial intelligence and large-scale data processing, data centers, as the infrastructure for these operations, are having an increasingly negative environmental impact. A recent research report delves into the environmental and regulatory issues associated with AI data centers, highlighting the urgent need for improvements in the current policy framework to address the growing consumption of energy and water resources.
